Q2 2025 in a nutshell

In Q2 2025, total revenues increased on the back of higher service and equipment revenues. Service revenue growth was mainly driven by upselling and value-protecting measures as well as growth in fixed-line RGUs in the international business. All CEE markets contributed to service revenue growth. In Austria total revenues declined slightly due to lower service revenues which were partly mitigated by higher equipment revenues.

Effects impacting Q2 and H1 results:

  • ✓ Total operating expenses included one-off effects totalling negative EUR 21 mn in Q2 2024, thereof EUR 24 mn negative effect in Belarus and EUR 3 mn positive net effect in Austria.
  • ✓ Restructuring charges amounted to EUR 18 mn in both Q2 2025 and Q2 2024.

Total OPEX increased to a large extent driven by higher equipment costs. Operationally, excluding the above-mentioned oneoff effects, the increase in core OPEX was driven by higher advertising costs, as well as product-related costs like licences and software for resale as well as commissions. Total workforce costs increased slightly. A certain tailwind came from lower costs for network maintenance and electricity. The equipment margin weighed negatively on EBITDA mainly as result of high subsidies in Austria.

EBITDA increased by 3.4% on a reported basis. Excluding one-off effects and restructuring, EBITDA decreased by 0.8%. EBITDA increased in all markets except for Austria and Slovenia.

CAPEX decreased by 33% both due to savings and due to lower CAPEX for spectrum.

The Serbian regulator (RATEL) has officially published for public discussion the draft of auction bylaw for the allocation of existing spectrum and 5G frequencies. The Serbian spectrum auction covers the 700 MHz, 2.6 GHz, and 3.5 GHz bands for new 5G deployment, along with renewals in the 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands. The minimum package value is set at the amount of minimum EUR 100 mn and the licenses are valid until March 2047. The tender is expected to take place in Q4 2025.

The Annual General Meeting on June 3, 2025 approved a dividend of EUR 0.40 per share. Mid of June, Telekom Austria AG paid a total dividend of EUR 266 mn to its shareholders. (For more information please see https://a1.group/investor-relations/shareholders-meetings/)

In May 2025, S&P confirmed its credit rating for Telekom Austria AG with 'A-'. (For more information please see https:// a1.group/investor-relations/debt/)

Mobile subscribers and fixed-line RGUs

In mobile communications, the number of subscribers rose by 9.1% to a total of around 28.3 million. As in previous quarters, the growth was driven by the strong increase in the M2M business. Excluding M2M customers, the number of subscribers increased slightly (+0.6%).

In the fixed-line business, the number of revenue generating units (RGUs) increased by 1.2% year-on-year. While the number of voice RGUs decreased, the number of broadband RGUs and TV RGUs increased. The RGU growth in international operations, especially in Belarus and Bulgaria, more than compensated for the decline in Austria.

The internet@home postpaid customer base increased by 4% to 3.9 million in the Group, driven both by the increase in broadband RGUs and mobile WiFi routers. Broadband RGUs increased in all markets except for Austria and Slovenia, while the number of mobile WiFi routers rose in all markets except for Croatia and North Macedonia.

Outlook for the financial year 2025

The management board confirms the guidance for the financial year 2025 (total revenues +2-3% year-on-year, CAPEX excluding frequencies and M&A of around EUR 800 mn).

Group results (Q2 and First Half 2025)

Macroeconomic and Competitive Environment

After two years of recession in 2023 and 20224, the Austrian economy remained under pressure in the first half of 2025. While the IMF outlook in April 2025 posts an expected decline of 0.3% for the full year 2025, recent forecasts suggest a tentative shift toward stabilization in 20251). According to the Austrian National Bank (OeNB), the real GDP growth forecast for 2025 is 0.2%, with an expected increase of 0.9% in 2026. Inflation stood at 3.3%2) in June after easing significantly in 2024, dropping to 2.9% in 2024 from 7.8% in 2023, which has reduced the impact of value-protecting measures on service revenues. At the same time, however, this limited the potential for further upselling.

The telecommunications market continues to be highly competitive in Austria. However, the mobile market showed signs of stabilization in certain segments, i.e. in the low-value mobile market, but competition remained strong overall. We responded to ongoing competitive pressure with strategic investments in the market and a focused multi-brand strategy—targeting high-value customers through A1 with loyalty programs, household bundles, and subsidies, while addressing price-sensitive segments via bob and YESSS!. To defend our position in the internet@home market, we maintained promotional activity, kept our technology-agnostic approach, and continued the fiber roll-out to support upselling, while also differentiating ourselves through additional services like entertainment and security.

In contrast, CEE markets—including Bulgaria, Croatia, Belarus, Slovenia, Serbia, and North Macedonia—are experiencing a more favourable economic climate. Growth expectations across the region are generally positive. At the same time, the competitive environment remained largely unchanged in the major CEE markets. International markets, while diverse in dynamics, generally benefited from solid demand for high-speed broadband, ICT solutions, and additional services, supporting revenue growth.

In Q2 and H1 2025, the Belarusian Ruble remained largely stable against the euro, with an period average exchange rate of 3.46 in H1 2025 (H1 2024: 3.48).

There have been no new major developments regarding the lawsuits filed by the Austrian Federal Chamber of Labor against A1 Austria. A1 Group remains confident in the legality of its service fee; no provisions were booked as of June 30, 2025. (for more details please see Q4 2024 and Q1 2025 results reports)

Revenue development

Group total revenues increased by 4.1% in Q2 and 3.9% in H1, driven by growth in both service and equipment revenues. Service revenue growth was supported by value-protecting measures, broadband and TV demand in international markets, and solutions and connectivity services, which offset declines in fixed voice and interconnection revenues. All markets contributed positively to service revenue growth both in Q2 and H1 — except Austria. The positive effects from value-protecting measures were lower in Q2 compared to previous quarters due to declining inflation rates in 2024. Equipment revenues rose in all markets except Slovenia, with high contributions from Belarus, Bulgaria and Austria, the latter driven by increases in Q2.

Total revenues in Austria declined by 1.1% in Q2 and 0.8% in H1, entirely due to lower service revenues (- 2.5% in Q2 2025). Overall, especially in Q2 but also in H1 2025, service revenues were impacted from a lower positive effect from value-protecting mentioned above. In the retail mobile market, service revenues declined despite a higher number of subscribers and were impacted by promotions but also lower incoming ARPU. As a result, ARPU also declined in Q2 2025. In addition to lower indexation effect, in the retail fixed-line market, service revenues declined both due to a lower number of customers but also due to discounts. Solutions and connectivity revenues increased supported by ICT connectivity, IT services, security and value added services. Interconnection revenues declined due to lower transit.

In the first half of 2025, A1 Group's international operations delivered a strong financial performance, with total revenues increasing by 10.3% in Q2 and 9.4% in H1. This growth was primarily driven by higher service revenues across all markets, supported by continued upselling, strong demand for high-speed broadband, and the expansion of ICT and connectivity services. Service revenues increased by 7.2% and 7.7% in Q2 and H1 respectively. The highest contributions came from Belarus, Bulgaria and Croatia. Belarus posted a particularly strong performance despite a price increase ban in the mobile sector. The company

achieved revenue growth through targeted upselling strategies and attractive offers, driven by strong demand for unlimited data plans, high-speed internet, and bundled TV services.

Group equipment revenues rose in Q2 and H1 2025, with the highest contributions stemming from Bulgaria and Belarus.

OPEX and EBITDA

At Group level, total operating expenses increased in both Q2 and H1 2025, primarily driven by higher equipment costs in line with rising equipment revenues. Excluding the above-mentioned one-off effects, core OPEX rose due to increased advertising expenses, as well as higher product-related costs such as software licenses for resale and commissions. Total workforce costs excluding restructuring increased slightly in Q2. They were stable in H1 2025 on the back of a strong focus on efficiency measures and ongoing transformation efforts. Restructuring increased from EUR 39 mn in H1 2024 to EUR 53 mn in H1 2025 due to intensified measures in Q1 2025. In Q2, they were stable at EUR 18 mn in both 2024 and 2025. On the positive side, the Group benefited from stringent cost control, lower electricity costs and network maintenance costs were reduced, which helped partially offset the overall cost increase.

In Austria, total OPEX increased due to higher equipment costs following the higher subsidies. Core OPEX without the above-mentioned one-off effect remained stable in Q2 and declined in H1 despite the strategic investments in the market in H1 2025. Those are reflected in an increase in advertising expenses, particularly in Q2, due to intensified marketing communication campaigns. Additionally, product-related costs — including licenses, software for resale, and commissions — rose in both periods, reflecting commercial activity and customer acquisition efforts. On the other hand, workforce costs decreased in Q2, supported by a lower number of FTEs and reduced external workforce expenses. Electricity and network maintenance costs also declined, providing some relief to the cost base. However, the equipment margin remained negative, due to higher subsidy levels and increased volumes.

The development in operating expenses in international markets were heavily impacted by the negative one-off effect in Belarus in Q2 2024. Excluding this effect, core OPEX increased in both periods mainly due to higher total workforce costs as well as product-related costs.

Group EBITDA grew by 3.4% in Q2 2025 and 4.2% in H1 2025. Excluding restructuring and one-off effects, EBITDA decreased by 0.8% in Q2 and increased by 3.3% in H1 2025 respectively. The EBITDA development was impacted by the above-mentioned strategic investments into long-term customer retention and strengthening the market position, mainly in Austria. In Q2, both on reported and operational level, Belarus posted the highest contribution on the back of strong service revenue growth and cost control. EBITDA grew in in all markets except for Austria in Slovenia.

In Austria, EBITDA excluding restructuring and one-off effects declined by 7.3% and 2.7% in Q2 and H1 2025 (reported: -8.7% and -6.3%). This was the result of service revenue decline, a negative impact from equipment margin and a less favourable core OPEX development in Q2 2025. In international markets, EBITDA excluding one-off effects increased by 7.1% and 10.0% in Q2 and H1 2025 (reported +18% and +15.7%), both thanks to service revenues increase in all CEE markets and a diligent approach on cost control.

Below EBITDA

Depreciation and amortization increased due to higher D&A resulting from a different asset mix. In Q2, EBIT remained largely stable while it rose by 1.2% in the first half of 2025. The financial result improved due to higher interest income. Consequently, the period result rose by 3.4% in Q2 and 5.1% in H1 2025.

Capital Expenditures

A1 Group focused on expanding its fiber roll-out and 5G networks both in Austria and internationally. In H1 2025, capital expenditures ('CAPEX') decreased by 19.3% to EUR 387 mn. The decrease was mostly attributable to lower CAPEX in Austria. CAPEX for spectrum was also lower: In Bulgaria, spectrum investments in Q1 2025 amounted to a total of EUR 9.6 mn, with the majority being attributable to the frequency prolongation of 2 x 20 MHz on 2100 MHz. Spectrum was acquired in the 900 Mhz band with 2 x 0.4 MHz. In H1 2024, spectrum investments amounted to EUR 38 mn in total (thereof EUR 7 mn in Austria and EUR 31 mn in Bulgaria). CAPEX excluding spectrum decreased by 14.4% to 378 mn in H1 2025. Investments in the fiber roll-out in Austria remained at a high level, although they were lower than in the same period last year.

Free Cashflow

In the first half of 2025, free cash flow increased by 91%. Besides the better operational result, the main driver was the substantially lower CAPEX both due to lower investments and lower spectrum payments compared to the same period last year (EUR 10 mn in H1 2025 versus EUR 39 mn (including interest) in H1 2024). Changes in working capital also showed a favourable development in accounts receivables and payables, overcompensating increased inventories and installment sales. That more than offset the higher leases paid.

Balance sheet and net debt

As of June 30, 2025, the total assets amounted to EUR 10,105 mn, 2.6% higher than at December 31, 2024. This was primarily driven by both higher short-term and long-term investments (marketable). Liabilities increased due to higher short-term debt. Total stockholders' equity remained stable as the net income generation offset the dividend payment of EUR 266 mn in June 2025. In the first half of 2025, the increase in marketable investments was higher than the issuance of short-term debt, leading to a decline in net debt. Additionally the long-term lease liabilities decreased. That led to a reduction both in the 'net debt/EBITDA'-ratio as well as in the 'net debt (excl. leases)/EBITDA after leases'-ratio.

RESULTS FOR Q2 AND H1 2025 12

Selected Explanatory Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

Basis of Presentation

The consolidated interim financial statements as of June 30, 2025 and for the first six months of 2025 ("H1 2025") include, in the opinion of Management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and performance and are not audited or reviewed and should be read in connection with the audited A1 Group's annual consolidated financial statements according to IFRS for the year ended December 31, 2024. The consolidated results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

The use of automated calculation systems may give rise to rounding differences. Values of 0/-0 shown in tables may result from amounts lower than EUR 0.5/-0.5 million.

The preparation of the interim financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" requires making estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. The significant judgments and the key sources of estimation uncertainty are the same as those described in the latest annual financial statements. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Compared to other economic sectors, the telecommunications industry is in general less cyclical. Within the telecommunication sector, the seasonality of the A1 Group's segments shows the same pattern as other European incumbents, having lower margins in the year-end quarter due to Christmas promotions and increases in sales commissions.

Changes in Accounting Policies

A1 Group has applied the same accounting policies and methods of computation in the interim financial statements as in the annual financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2024, except the following standards respectively amendments to standards which are effective from January 1, 2025:

Amendments: Lack of Exchangeability IAS 21
-- ------------------------------------- --------

The standard respectively the amendment to the standard does not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. It is not applicable to the Belarusian subsidiaries, as in Belarus there are no restrictions for converting the Belarusian ruble into foreign currency.

Related Party Transactions

The following lease payments were made to the EuroTeleSites ("ETS") Group:

in EUR million (unaudited) H1 2025 H1 2024
Lease principal paid 93 82
Lease interest paid 28 33
Lease paid to ETS Group total 121 115

In addition to the ETS bond of EUR 180 million acquired in July 2024, a further bond issued by ETS Group as a private placement with a face value of EUR 255 million, a term until November 26, 2026 and a fixed interest rate of 3.029% was acquired by A1 Group on April 22, 2025. Both bonds are not disclosed in receivables due from related parties, but in long-term investments. In H1 2025, A1 Group recognized interest income of EUR 5 million relating to these bonds.

Cash and Cash Equivalents and Investments

In Q2 2024, the Belarusian government imposed temporary restrictions on payment of dividends to foreign investors residing in European Union and other countries considered "unfriendly". As of June 30, 2025 cash and cash equivalents of the Belarusian subsidiaries amount to EUR 65 million (December 31, 2024: EUR 41 million). Furthermore, short-term investments in Belarus amounting to EUR 57 million are subject to these restrictions at June 30, 2025 (December 31, 2024: EUR 25 million).

For the acquisition of the bond issued by ETS, see "Related Party Transactions".

Intangibles and Property, Plant and Equipment

In Q2 2025, A1 Bulgaria acquired concessions for cellular network licenses in the 2100 MHz range for a total of EUR 10 million.

In Q2 2024, A1 Bulgaria acquired frequencies for EUR 31 million in the 900 Mhz and 1800 Mhz band and A1 Austria acquired 400 MHz in the 26 GHz band as well as additional regional frequencies in the 3.5 GHz spectrum for a total of EUR 7 million.

Provisions and Accrued Liabilities

Restructuring

The provision for restructuring (employees who will no longer provide services) and social plans as well as for civil servants who voluntarily changed to the Austrian government to take on administrative tasks and the discount rates applied are disclosed in the following table:

Jun. 30, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024
in EUR million unaudited audited
Restructuring and social plans 330 336
Civil servants transferred to the government 4 4
Total restructuring 333 340
Discount rate
Employees permanently leaving the service process 2.75% 3.00%
Social plans 2.75% 2.75%
Civil servants transferred to the government 2.75% 3.00%

In H1 2025, the provision for restructuring was reduced by usage which was mostly offset by additions due to new social plans.

Employee benefit obligations

The following table discloses the discount rates applied to measure employee benefit obligations:

Jun. 30, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024
Discount rate unaudited audited
Service awards 2.75% 2.75%
Severance 3.50% 3.50%
Pensions 3.25% 3.25%

Asset retirement obligation

In H1 2025, the parameters used for calculating the asset retirement obligation were adjusted to current market expectations in each operative segment and are summarized in the following table:

Jun. 30, 2025 Dec. 31, 2024
unaudited audited
Discount rate 3,4%–23,7% 3,0%–23,9%
Inflation rate 2,2%–5,4% 2,1%–5,8%

In essence, the change in the specified parameters as well as the change in the estimated outflow of resources resulted in a decrease in the obligation with no impact on income due to an adjustment in the carrying amount of the related item of property, plant and equipment of EUR 3 million (H1 2024: decrease of EUR 6 million).

Income Taxes

Stockholders' Equity

The following dividends were declared by the shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and distributed by Telekom Austria AG:

H1 2025 H1 2024
Date of Annual General Meeting Jun. 3, 2025 Jun. 27, 2024
Dividend per share in euro 0.40 0.36
Total dividend paid in Mio. EUR 266 239
Date of payment Jun. 11, 2025 Jul. 4, 2024

Other comprehensive income (loss) items in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity include the remeasurement of defined benefit obligations (IAS 19 reserve), remeasurement of investments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI reserve) and the translation reserve. In H1 2025, EUR 12 million of the effect of translation of foreign entities in other comprehensive income relate to the appreciation of the Belarusian ruble (H1 2024: appreciation of EUR 8 million).

Share-based Compensation

On April 1, 2025, the 16th tranche of the long-term incentive program (LTI 2025) was granted. LTI 2025 has a performance period from January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2027 and a corridor for target achievement from 0% to 200%. The target values for the key indicators were determined by the Supervisory Board and are the following:

  • EBITDA growth, weighted at 40%
  • ICT business growth, weighted at 15%
  • Revenue market share growth, weighted at 15%
  • Two Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance ("ESG") goals: reduction of gender pay gap and reduction of carbon foot print, each weighted at 15%

n.a. - Not applicable as the practical expedient of IFRS 7.29 (a) was applied.

For the increase in investments at amortized cost, see "Related Party Transactions".

The fair values of the bonds equal the face value multiplied by the price quotations at the reporting date and are basically classified as level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Bonds without an active market have to be classified as level 2. At June 30, 2025 and at December 31, 2024, this applies to the bonds issued by ETS Group and bonds held in Belarus. For fixed deposits, the carrying amount approximates the fair value.

n.a. - Not applicable as the practical expedients of IFRS 7.29 (a) respectively IFRS 7.29 (d) for lease obligations were applied.

The fair value of the quoted bond equals the face value multiplied by the price quotation at the reporting date and is thus classified as level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair values of the bank debt are measured at the present values of the cash flows associated with the debt, based on the applicable yield curve. The fair values of the other non-current financial liabilities are measured at the present values of the cash flows, discounted based on current interest rates, and are thus classified as level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Other Events

To further strengthen A1 Group's convergence strategy, fixed-line telecommunications providers were acquired in Serbia (Conexio Metro d.o.o.) and in Slovenia (Peter's Teleurh d.o.o.) in H1 2025.

As of June 30, 2025, A1 Bank AG ceased its credit card business. In May 2025, a contract for the sale of A1 Bank AG was signed. The closing of the transaction is pending the obtaining of all relevant regulatory approvals.
